    Need Ironhide! :drool: 

    Bumblebee looks great too. The weapons are awesome, and he looks loaded. I'll have to get him for sure, as he looks to be the best Deluxe version so far.

    Wow. I guess I will be buying another Deluxe BB, after all.

    Ironhide looks great, too.

    BB actually looks really fantastic. The arm cannon is great, and battle mask, on a deluxe? Love.

    Ironhide still looks like a deffinate buy for me.

    Still not sold on Ironhide at the Deluxe scale. He needs to look imposing to me and he just doesn't in this mold.

    This Bee is just great, and once I do the few paint apps needed (gun, exhuast pipes, lights and {maybe} the stripping on the back window peice), he will be perfect.

    Proportions on BB seem off... His arms, upper legs, and waist look to small for the other parts of his body. I'll still get him though :p 

    Ironhide is great, totally bought on sight.

    I'm amazed how much I like the look of the new bb; haven't bought a deluxe version of him yet, so I may decide to pick him up.

    Personally starting to rub me the wrong way that I've got 4 (2 77 BB & 2 08 BB - one each opened/unopened) & now this new mold makes my 08 look like crap...

    Maybe I'll give it to a friend's kid that's about 8 - then I can buy a new one!

    Ironhide looks awesome. I like Recon but he's hard to pick up and play with...he doesn't feel solid. This one does.

    I also REALLY like the BB despite a few quibbles. Unfortunately, I don't think I will buy him for my display if he's much taller than the new Ironhide. However, my girlfriend will absolutely adore him, so I'll get him for her if she doesn't beat me to it. :D

    not to thrilled about IH just yet... I mean... I don't see WHY this couldn't of been a voyager mold.. same goes for the deluxe ratchet.. I would have loved to see these 2 molds bigger... but man that BBBB... that things flat out hot.. as sick of buying movie bee molds as I am I WILL be buying this figure just for the complexity of the transformation, the accuracy of the transformation, and the fact that he has both hands AND weapons. Oh yea.

    I've said this before, but while the Bee gets a lot of things right, there's a couple of glaring issues. His legs and upper torso are nearly perfect. His head and chest look great, the wings and wheels are well handled, and the legs seemed like a refined version of the ones we've been getting.

    That said, the arms look pretty awful. The proportions seem way off- I like the incorporation of the weapons, but that leaves him with spindly little arms carrying those huge yellow pads. Also, his hands are black plastic and pretty inaccurate. Maybe I can swap the arms with the Cannon version...

    As much as I don't want to, I still want baby-HA Bumblebee.

    I have no problems with wanting Hubcap. :)

    ^agreed very much so. However I still think that the new IH and ratchet should have been voyagers...
